Description

Quartz is an abundant mineral that is very common along the sea walls in the Cold Caverns and The Aphotic Plateau. It is also fairly abundant in the Europan Ridge, The Great Sea, and the Hydrothermal_Wastes.

Since it yields one Silicon, it allows one to start creating circuitry-related items such as the Water Detector or Gene Splicer. It is also a component in fabricating Plastic.

It displays an almost "corrupted glass" look, along with a white accent, and has a sharper look.
